Losing my Mind

Chapter 16: Fragile

Isaac raced Stiles to the hospital and immediately handed him over to Melissa and the other nurses.

He felt as if his world was crumbling down, Stiles had always been a real friend to him. Always.

And now he felt like he couldn't even help him. He felt utterly useless at that moment and felt the need to kick himself for not paying more attention to Stiles and everything that was going on with him.

He started crying as he sank into a chair, head in hands.

Scott ran in and spotted Isaac hunched over in a waiting room chair.

"Isaac, is he okay?" Scott asked concerned.

" I don't know ... Mellisa said that he got out of surgery a few minutes ago but he hasn't woken up and they won't allow me in yet" Isaac whimpered silently.

Scott sat down next to him, he felt as if it was his fault.

"The worst part is... I think it was his dad..." Isaac whispered, a tear rolling down his face, "Before I left the house... I smelt the air and all I got was Stiles and his dad's scents... nothing else"

Scott looked over at Isaac "Should I tell the others?"

"Yeah, but I think we shouldn't mention that we think it's his father, yet" Isaac sighed.

"Good idea" Scott said as he went to work on sending everyone a message.

An hour later everyone sat in the waiting room. Scott and Isaac sat looking as though they both were gonna be sick. Derek and Peter looked like the were thinking deeply about the whole ordeal. Ethan and Aiden looked extremely worried. Lydia, Allison and Kira looked as though at the slightest moment they would all burst into tears.

" Hey guys, Stiles hasn't woken up yet and I know by saying this I'm breaking the rules but I can see you're all worried so you can all follow me to his room. Oh and just letting you know, he's had to get a bunch of stitches so if he wakes up, make sure he doesn't move too much 'cause he might injure himself even more" Melissa said, she knew they were all way too worried to wait.

Immediately they all stood up and followed her to his room.

" Luckily we've given him one of the bigger rooms" Melissa laughed, as everyone piled into the big room, all finding chairs to sit on.

" Guys, I just need to say that it looks like he'll be fine but if he doesn't stay strong... let's just say he has to stay strong, he lost a lot of blood" Melissa said sadly.

"You guys can stay from now till 7, so in 2 hours ill have to come in and chase you out" Melissa continued to explain, then walked out closing the door behind her.

Half an hour later they all hadn't moved from their positions as they stared intently at Stiles. He was extremely pale, had dark circles around his eyes and was covered in bruises and cuts.

"I can't stand seeing him like this" Lydia said and everyone silently agreed.

" Did all of you hear him singing last night? " Scott asked with a slightly sad smile on his face.

"Yes" Everyone except for Lydia, Allison and Kira said.

" He was really great... I had no idea he was so talented" Scott whimpered, "And he's my best friend, I should've known"

The girls stayed silent, not wanting to question anything, it was kinda obvious that Stiles sang and was great.

"Ugh, shit, I forgot to let Shawn know what happened" Scott said pulling out his phone.

Hey Shawn, sorry I didn't let you know sooner, Stiles is in hospital, we don't really know what happened but he seems to be okay so far, he lost quite alot of blood and that's pretty bad but be seems stable.

They were all plunged into silence, focusing on Stiles' weak form.

"I can't take it anymore" Lydia got up, walking over to Stiles' side " Hey Stiles... if you can hear me I really need you to listen... Please don't give up, I've seen a change in you lately... you're making less jokes, using less sarcasm and I've noticed how tired and worn out you look... we all care for you and really need you to wake up... please, we can help you, if you just wake up, we will help..." Lydia paused, "Remember what you told me that time when I came over and you were hurt, I know you lied about what happened to your face but we can talk about it some other time... right know I need you to listen to me... you said 'Death doesn't happen to you, Lydia. It happens to everyone around you, okay? To all the people left standing at your funeral, trying to figure out how they're gonna live the rest of their lives now without you in it'... Stiles you said that, and now you need to take your own advice"

Stiles didn't answer but he did turn his head and whimper.

" He looks so fragile" Kira stated sadly.

Stiles whimpered again and a tear started rolling down his bruised cheek.

They all watched intently as more tears fell and he gripped his sheets tightly.

" Please " He whispered "Please don't... I'm sorry...please, let me go..."

"He's having a dream" Scott stated, standing up.

"No, he's having a nightmare " Derek growled.

Beep....beep....beep...beep... beep..beep..beep, beep, beep, beep-beep

The monitor showed that Stiles' heart rate was speeding up rapidly. Then all of a sudden he was flailing his arms around and screaming his lungs out.
